The Hon. (Dr.) Susil Ranasinghe
The land in question had been allocated on preferential terms for a centre to buy and sell beneficiaries’ produce at fair prices. Dr. Susil Ranasinghe stated that reports indicate it is instead being used as a hotel or restaurant, and that if the legal basis is established, action can be taken to re-vest the land.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the land was given on a preferential basis to operate a centre to purchase and sell the produce of beneficiaries at fair price. Under legal provisions, if it is not used for that purpose, it can be taken back. As per reports, a hotel/restaurant is being operated there, not the intended purpose. If there is legal basis, steps can be taken to re-vest the land.
